LAST WEEKS PAPER. Project Scope Statement: This project is going to focus on a startup business that is in the market for property acquisition, with the intent to rent the property until the mortgage has been paid off. At this point the properties would either be sold for instant profit, or the properties would continually be rented for a sustainable income. The company will only have four partners and limited outside investors. The scope of this project will be focused on property under 300,000 dollars and is located within the Seattle. Foreclosed on properties are excluded from the scope, because they are not a realistic buy with the budget of the small startup. The budget is also the biggest constraint the project will face. This is why the outside investors could get involved. The four partners would each have a different role they would fill to ensure the success of the project. One of the four partners would fill one of the following four areas: Finance and banking management, Property and contract management, Advertisement and customer acquisition Property repair and upkeep The four areas listed above are the 4 most important criteria that should be focused on, if those areas are successful then I believe the project will be successful. The process that will be used when accepting results will be based upon number of property costs versus the net income of the properties. It will be an acceptable product if the properties make more money than they cost to manage. The deliverable that is expected from this project is owned property. The assumptions for this project include the following: Funding is available to buy the properties. Properties are available for purchase on the market within the scope of the project. The market is in the sellers favor. Outside investors will not own more than 10 percent of the company. Stakeholders: There will be very limited stakeholders as this is a small startup project. The four members of the group will be the primary stakeholders, since they have the most invested into the project. They will be internal stakeholders with a high impact and influence on the project.The other set of stakeholders will be the limited outside investors. They will be a small minority in the project and would be an external stakeholder. This group of stakeholders would not have an impact or influence on any decisions made. They are investing in the opportunity to make a profit down the line, not to own a property acquisition company.
 Communication Plan: The communication plan for this project would target the audience that is looking for a rental property in the short term and in the long term targeting those who want to buy. The best way and most cost efficient way to draw attention to the business would involve creating signs that could be placed throughout the community. These would be visual aids that would draw eyes to the project, and from there word of mouth would spread the project around. The other form of advertising that would be used is radio commercials. These plugs are cheap and effective. Overall the success of this plan would be high is my estimation. The cost is cheap and the reach is large enough to gain the clients needed for success.

Last week, each of you selected a project and defined the scope, stakeholders, communication plan and the WBS. You will use this project to complete the elements below. Share your project’s scope statement to start your response to the assignment.Decompose one of your WBS elements: Ensure your WBS has the appropriate level of detail and then add all of the application activities to estimate resources and durations against. Then sequence your activities and show an end milestone. Highlight your critical path through your activities. Remember, activities are contained WITHIN the WBS, they are not the WBS. Do not make us guess the critical path, it should be well graphed and stated on a gantt chart, either hand drawn or using a scheduling program! If you don’t have a scheduling tool, you can try something like this: http://gantter.com/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Make sure there isn’t too much overlap of resources within overlapping activities.

imilarities and differences that exist between human and non-human primates today
1. how different are we
After watching Ape Genius (2008), describe the similarities and differences that exist between human and non-human primates today. What do you think are the major similarities and differences? Why are these similarities and differences important for us to understand (as anthropologists and as humans in general). Finally, share something that stood out to you about the connection between humans and primates in this film. Of course, explain why it stood out to you.
Your post must be written in your own words. Remember to name your sources. If you summarize something from the textbook, you can say, “according to our textbook.” However, if you use quotes from the textbook or any other source, be sure to put them in quotation marks, state where they are from, and include the page number.
Your initial post (2 paragraphs) is due by Thursday at midnight
here is the link to the film.
2. Ethnoprimatology
Ethnoprimatology involves study of the human-primate interactions and interfaces. This discussion has two parts. First after reading and viewing this week’s materials,describe some of the ways humans and primates have interacted over time. In your answer, be sure to explain what the “anthropocene” is and what it implies for human-primate interactions.
Second, over half of all primates are endangered. Choose one specific endangered primate species from the 25 most endangered primates (see next paragraph for a link to the list) and do a little research online. Then explain what is causing the species you chose to be endangered. Finally, why do you think it’s important for this specific species to be protected from extinction?
The International Union for Conservation of Nature publishes reports on the 25 most endangered species.

OSHA Document
3 page plus cover and reference pages = 5 page total
You receive a follow-up call from the area director saying the employee filing the original non-formal complaint has provided additional information about the alleged health situation and submitted a formal complaint using the OSHA-7 form, making the complaint a formal complaint. A few days later, an OSHA compliance officer shows up at your facility to perform a comprehensive inspection. The compliance officer presents the proper credentials, and you verify that the compliance officer is employed by OSHA and assigned to the local office.
During the opening conference, the compliance officer provides you with the formal complaint, alleging that employees are exposed to hazardous concentrations of metal fumes in welding areas of the plant, that you have not performed any air sampling to determine exposure levels, that adequate ventilation is not present in welding areas, and that adequate respiratory protection has not been provided to welders. As a part of the inspection, the compliance officer requests the following documents:
· chemical inventory list;
· OSHA 300 logs;
· Hazard Communication Program, including training records;
· any sampling data that you have;
· Respiratory Protection Program, including medical clearance letters and training records;
· written hazard assessment for personal protective equipment (PPE) used at the facility;
· Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for the metals you use in the production process and any welding rods/wire used in the welding area;
· and any other written programs you have that are required by an OSHA regulation
The compliance officer takes a walk-through tour of the facility, spending extra time in the welding areas. During the walkthrough, the compliance officer points out several issues believed to be apparent violations. The issues are as follows:
· Heavy haze is present in the welding area.
· Individuals wearing half-mask air-purifying respirators have full beards.
· Employees are using chemicals that could be injurious to the eyes, and no emergency eyewash is present.
· Eyewash is present in another area of the plant that is covered in dust, and there is no indication of recent operation or inspection.
· Employees are using chemicals that could be absorbed through the skin and are not using any gloves.
· Employees are performing maintenance inside a press with no lock-out/tag-out applied
· No written lock-out/tag-out program is available at the time of the inspection
· Welding operation is performed near flammable materials, and no fire watch present.
· There is no record of training for fork truck drivers
· Extension cords are stretched across walkways
· Three containers are present in the plant with no label present on any of the containers
· An employee could not find a SDS for the chemical he or she was using.
The compliance officer asks for a private conference room and a list of non-managerial employees. He tells you that he intends to interview four non-managerial employees before leaving for the day. He also states that he will return the next day to collect some air samples at the facility.
You are worried about the number of citations and penalties that you may face. Provide a document summarizing the steps you would take as soon as the compliance officer leaves, and the steps you believe you could have taken during the walk-through that may have resulted in a quick-fix penalty reduction.
Your document must be at least three pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages. You must also include at least one reference using appropriate APA style.
